"Since she got injured because of Coralie, I'm fine with compensating her. I don't have an issue with giving her money or to accompany her for treatments. But I have an issue with marrying her."
Skylar Holland held the phone and his face darkened.
He was the President of Skyton Corporation, therefore Amelia Harington and Valerie Rae were never a threat to him. However, the real threat that he had to face was Valerie's father.
He was the President of the Rae Group.
In fact, Valerie's father had warned Skylar as soon as he found out that his daughter would harm herself if Skylar were to leave her.
His threat was simple but powerful. He could push Skyton Corporation into turmoil, and it would very likely result in retrenchment in Skylar's company.
As the President of Skyton Corporation, it was impossible for him to disregard his staff and shatter their means of income.
"Skylar, why are you so obsessed with Coralie? She had a miscarriage, and we don't know if she could get pregnant again. Moreover, do you think that your father would agree to your marriage with Coralie? He is abroad now, that is why he had not done anything. Once he is back, he will certainly take care of it."
Lillian Ford saw that her son was determined, so she had to use her husband to coerce him.
"It's my own business, so you don't have to worry about it. Don't get involved in this matter anymore. If you want to buy something, just let me know. I will buy it for you. If you think that your allowance isn't enough, I will give more to you. Don't give in to others unnecessarily just because of some gifts."
In fact, Skylar had known that Valerie would frequently give presents to Lillian. He didn't take it to heart at first, because he would pay back the gift eventually. He would pay her back with money most of the time.
However, he didn't expect that Lillian would agree to the engagement and even set a date for it.
"Son, how could you say that? I'm your mother. Valerie is a suitable match for you. She is from a good family and her background is on par with ours."
Lillian tried her best to hide her selfishness behind her persuasion.
"Mom, you're from a working-class family. My father married you, and he didn't dislike your family background. Do you have any right to dislike Coralie now?"
Skylar couldn't bear it anymore and finally blurted this sentence out.
Previously, when Lillian disliked Coralie openly, Skylar had already suppressed the urge to say all these words. Now that Lillian had crossed the line, he too stopped holding back.
"It's not the same."
"Pray tell, what's the difference?" Skylar was frustrated, "Go to bed early. Goodnight."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Valerie had returned to her home recently because of her engagement. She had said that she wanted to discuss with her family about the engagement.
Only Skylar was left in the house. He stood in front of the window of the study and looked out of the window. He then called Coralie.
At this moment, Coralie Chariott was lying down on her bed. She was watching the news with her mobile phone. She was surprised when she saw Skylar calling her.
She thought that Skylar was going to inform her of the divorce agreement. Although she was reluctant to answer the call, she still picked it up.
"Hello."
"Beep, beep, beep..."
As soon as Coralie picked up the phone, Skylar quickly hung up.
He realized that he really didn't know what to say to Coralie.
He hoped that he could put a stop to every disturbing matter before asking her to come back to him.
On the other side of the phone, Coralie thought that Skylar had dialed the wrong number. Although she was slightly disappointed, she did not call him back.
